A writer holds the freedom to shape her era as she pleases, and the accumulation of rage becomes a powerful force within her work. From the iconic feminist writer Gail Scott, comes a remarkable collection of new essays titled "Permanent Revolution," alongside a recreation of her groundbreaking text, "Spaces Like Stairs." In engaging conversations with other writers who navigate queer/feminist avant-garde trajectories, such as l'écriture-au-féminin in Québec and continental New Narrative, these essays offer a captivating evolutionary snapshot of Scott's ongoing prose experiment, which intimately connects writing to the ongoing social upheaval. Scott herself highlights the essence of this book, emphasizing that where there is no emergency, there is likely no true experiment. "Permanent Revolution" is graced with a Foreword by Zoe Whittall and an Afterword by Margaret Christakos, adding depth and insight to this thought-provoking exploration of the literary landscape.
